tire sizes
right now i have 215/65 - 15 all around on my 85' Z, if i did 255/60 - 15 in the back and 235/60 in the front would my speedo be way off?

yes. you will be going from a 26" tall tire to a 27.5" tall tire so at 55mph it'll read about 50-51mph

but they do make a 265/50-15. it's about .2 shorter than the original size. the 275-50-15 is 26" tall. just like the 215/65-15 and the 235/60-15
will 275s or 265s fit on my stock 15" wheels and in my rear fender wells? Trending Topics

yes they will. but, they will curl the outside of the tire a little bit. really need to be on a 8" or wider wheel.
